Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[L8 Apex]

I didn't look too closely, but isn't that an E28 M5, which is in the game?

EDIT: on closer inspection, it might just be a standard 5 series.

It's an E12 (i.e. first gen) 5 Series.

I thought it was a first gen 7 series?

Looked like an early 5 series to me.

Do we know if Premium Edition will be available at midnight in your own Timezone? Or will it be a single release time worldwide?

It’ll be frustrating if its a single release time worldwide as being in Aus, we’d miss a solid chunk of the first day of early release.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

A bit early here in USA, but it's nearly bedtime for me.

 

[Kelpy D]

3 days till Horizon 5 comes out for premium owners.

1-2-3 Days To Go

It should be available at midnight in your timezone. Which is a bit frustrating for everybody not in Aus, since you'll get to play the game a good bit earlier than the rest of us.

That's right! There's no such thing as "never" when it comes to Forza obtaining cars compared to other developers. And let me tell you, they're pretty darn good at it, T10 and PG!

Yes, but they will probably go the same way as Toyota.
We will have to pay 20 million cr for the 124 Spider, which we could literally get so many "to throw away" until the FH4. Or we will have to play the playlist even if we don't want to.
The Mitsubishi miracle will no longer happen.

At the very least, the cars that were available in the past Forza in the Xbox One era should be added to the auto show, and only the cars that return from Xbox 360 era and are completely new to the game should be prizes for the playlist.

How do you know? Or is this simply you trying to posit the worst possible thing to make yourself seem right later on?

Well , Premium edition is a scam.
For +40$ you get 42 cars + vip + wp + 2 expansions.

In FH4 for +40$(ultimate) you get 49+7+10 cars + vip + 2 expansions.

Lets not forget, that 42 cars for FH4 at release is ~10% of car list and now its only 8%.

I wouldn't really call that a scam. Just has slightly less content in the premium edition at this stage. That could change post-release.

Early access is early access. I don't even miss the double VIP cash wheelspins from earlier games, since everyone playing this game ends up with mucho dinero before too long.

Considering the bulk of cars added to FH4 were that of the Festival Playlist, this makes sense.

Upon closer inspection you're absolutely right, it is an E12 5 series.

42vs66, doesn't look slightly to me. 50% if we don't consider day one car list and 80% more if we do.

Keep in mind, that Horizon 4 was on sale at Black Friday (-20$ off) and New Year (-20$ off).

 

[Populuxe]

I love the use of Esquivel's "Mucho Muchacha" during the race with the girl in the 911.

Also, three days.

 

[Rob192005]

I'm looking forward to driving leisurely from one side of the map to the other and I will find what I find as I go,then I will do the return trip equally as leisurely.

This is a guess based on what has happened with Mitsubishi, and Toyota & Lexus respectively. There is no clear evidence for this.
However, if they had a "user friendly" way of doing things, Toyota and Lexus could have gone the same way as Mitsubishi. Oh, and the DeLorean.
The mainstay of their live service now is definitely Festival Playlist, and it's clear that this system is an effort to increase Game Pass subscriptions and the number of unique users of this game.
And just like what we did with Toyota, making almost all existing cars from Alfa Romeo and Fiat the prizes of the playlist would be a bait for players who have been loyal to their brand cars until then.
And they will be forced to play these modes halfway for the cars they love, which will result in more numbers to please MS management team and shareholders.

Please don't misunderstand me. I have high hopes for FH5 and don't intend to run a negative campaign against them.
However, I've learned enough in the three years of FH4.
There is nothing more expensive than free. The time has come for us to give our time and loyalty to the publishers instead of paying for paid DLC.
